Introduction

1.1 Overview

Your NWA3000-N series AP’s business-class reliability, SMB features, and centralized wireless management make it ideally suited for advanced service delivery in mission-critical networks. The NWA3000-N series AP provides secure mobility across the 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrums and the IEEE 802.11n standard’s high bandwidth to support high-performance applications. It uses Multiple BSSID and VLAN to provide up to eight simultaneous independent virtual APs. Additionally, innovations in roaming technology and QoS features eliminate voice call disruptions. It can serve as an AP, Bridge, Repeater or even as an RF monitor to search for rouge APs to help eliminate network threats.

The NWA3000-N series AP controls network access with Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering, rogue Access Point (AP) detection and containment, and an internal authentication server. It also provides a high level of network traffic security, supporting IEEE 802.1x, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2 and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption.

A NWA3000-N series AP can manage up to 24 other NWA3000-N series APs on your network. Configuration profiles let you easily use different WLAN and security settings for various virtual and managed APs.

Your NWA3000-N series AP is easy to install, configure and use. The embedded Web-based configurator enables simple, straightforward management and maintenance. See the Quick Start Guide for how to make hardware connections.

Chapter 1 Introduction

1.2 Applications for the NWA3000-N series AP

The NWA3000-N series AP can be configured to use the following operating modes

•Bridge / Repeater

•AP + Bridge

•MBSSID

Applications for each operating mode are shown below.

Note: A different channel should be configured for each WLAN interface to reduce the effects of radio interference.

1.2.1 Bridge / Repeater

The NWA3000-N series AP can act as a wireless network bridge and establish wireless links with other APs. In the figure below, the two NWA3000-N series APs (A and B) are connected to independent wired networks and have a bridge connection (A can communicate with B) at the same time. A NWA3000-N series AP in repeater mode (C) has no Ethernet connection. When the NWA3000-N series AP is in bridge mode, you should enable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to prevent bridge loops.

When the NWA3000-N series AP is in Bridge / Repeater mode, security between APs (the Wireless Distribution System or WDS) is independent of the security between the wireless stations and the AP. If you do not enable WDS security, traffic between APs is not encrypted. When WDS security is enabled, both APs must use the same pre-shared key.

Once the security settings of peer sides match one another, the connection between devices is made.

Chapter 1 Introduction

At the time of writing, WDS security is compatible with other ZyXEL access points only. Refer to your other access point’s documentation for details.

Figure 1 Bridge Application

Figure 2 Repeater Application

1.2.1.1 Bridge / Repeater Mode Example

In the example below, when both NWA3000-N series APs are in Bridge/Repeater mode, they form a WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allowing the computers in LAN 1 to connect to the computers in LAN 2.

Figure 3 Bridging Example

Be careful to avoid bridge loops when you enable bridging in the NWA3000-N series AP. Bridge loops cause broadcast traffic to circle the network endlessly, resulting in possible throughput degradation and disruption of communications. The following examples show two network topologies that can lead to this problem:

Chapter 1 Introduction

•If two or more NWA3000-N series APs (in bridge mode) are connected to the same hub.

Figure 4 Bridge Loop: Two Bridges Connected to Hub

•If your NWA3000-N series AP (in bridge mode) is connected to a wired LAN while communicating with another wireless bridge that is also connected to the same wired LAN.

Figure 5 Bridge Loop: Bridge Connected to Wired LAN

To prevent bridge loops, ensure that you enable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) in the Wireless screen or your NWA3000-N series AP is not set to bridge mode while connected to both wired and wireless segments of the same LAN.

1.2.2 AP + Bridge

In AP + Bridge mode, the NWA3000-N series AP supports both AP and bridge connection at the same time.

In the figure below, A and B use X as an AP to access the wired network, while X and Y communicate in bridge mode.

When the NWA3000-N series AP is in AP + Bridge mode, security between APs (WDS) is independent of the security between the wireless stations and the AP. If you do not enable WDS security, traffic between APs is not encrypted. When WDS security is enabled, both APs must use the same pre-shared key.

Unless specified, the term “security settings” refers to the traffic between the wireless stations and the NWA3000-N series AP.

1.2.3 MBSSID

A Basic Service Set (BSS) is the set of devices forming a single wireless network (usually an access point and one or more wireless clients). The Service Set IDentifier (SSID) is the name of a BSS. In Multiple BSS (MBSSID) mode, the

Chapter 1 Introduction

NWA3000-N series AP provides multiple virtual APs, each forming its own BSS and using its own individual SSID profile.

You can assign different wireless and security settings to each SSID profile. This allows you to compartmentalize groups of users, set varying access privileges, and prioritize network traffic to and from certain BSSs.

To the wireless clients in the network, each SSID appears to be a different access point. As in any wireless network, clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings.

See Section 4.1 on page 55 for an example of using MBSS.

1.3 Management Mode

One NWA3000-N series AP uses Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP, see RFC 5415) to allow one AP to configure and manage up to 24 others. This centralized management can greatly reduce the effort of setting up and maintaining multiple devices.

An NWA3000-N series AP in this group (ZLD-based models) can manage other APs in this group1.

•NWA3160-N

•NWA3550-N

•NWA3560-N

It can also use legacy device information hyper-links to connect to the Web Configurators of the following ZyNOS-based NWA-3000 series APs:

•NWA-3160

•NWA-3163

•NWA-3500

•NWA-3550

•NWA-3166

1.Not all of these models were available at the time of writing.

The following figure illustrates a CAPWAP wireless network. The user (U) configures the controller AP (C), which then automatically updates the configurations of the managed APs (M1 ~ M4).

1.5 Good Habits for Managing the NWA3000-N series AP

Do the following things regularly to make the NWA3000-N series AP more secure and to manage it more effectively.

•Change the password often. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.

•Write down the password and put it in a safe place.

•Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the NWA3000-N series AP to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you won’t have to totally re-configure the NWA3000-N series AP; you can simply restore your last configuration.

How to Reset the ZyXEL NWA3560-N Router To Factory Default

To reset ZyXEL NWA3560-N router,

1. Turn on the ZyXEL NWA3560-N router
2. Look for the reset button. Few routers have a tiny hole and few others have a reset button.
3. Press the Factory reset button with a straightened paperclip pin or something that gets through the tiny hole, and hold it for about 15 seconds! (till you see all the lights flashing)
4. The ZyXEL NWA3560-N router will reboot automatically. the unit has been reset and is ready to use. You can start from Step 1 in this guide to set it up.

ZyXEL NWA3560-N Password Does not Work

Passwords find a way to not work! Or, in most cases, users find a way to forget them! In either case, look up the How to Reset the ZyXEL NWA3560-N Router To Default Settings section

Forgot Password for ZyXEL NWA3560-N Router

Incase if you have changed the default username and password of ZyXEL NWA3560-N and forgot it, please see How to Reset the ZyXEL NWA3560-N Router To Default Settings section

1.Place the ZyXEL NWA3560-N in a perfect spot

The perfect spot does it all; be it romance or your router! To avail the best signal and network connectivity, make sure you keep your ZyXEL NWA3560-N router visible and not facing the wall or behind the curtains

2.Find a Good Wireless Channel Instead of Auto on your ZyXEL NWA3560-N router

Auto-channels might fail you once in a while; believe that you’re smarter than the ZyXEL router! Find a seamless wireless channel instead of what the router finds automatically. This would ensure that your signal doesn’t interfere with that of your neighbors.

If you’re running a Windows-based PC, you can see what channels neighboring Wi-Fi networks are using.

• Press Start > type “cmd”. Open Command prompt
• In command prompt type netsh wlan show all

You will see a list of all wireless networks and the channels being used in your vicinity. instead of using “Auto” for the control channel, Pick the channel that has the lowest interference

3.Check the frequency of ZyXEL NWA3560-N

Check if ZyXEL NWA3560-N has dual-band, the most commonly used band would be 2.4GHz; however, switching to 5GHz would bring out better results! It depends on your device though; if you’re running an old lad, you might have to switch back to the conventional

4.Hardwire gaming consoles / media streamers into your ZyXEL NWA3560-N instead of WiFi

Gaming consoles/media streamers work better when connected through Ethernet cable of ZyXEL NWA3560-N; in fact, as you might not be moving your TV all over the house, why connect it to the Wi-Fi at all? The Gaming consoles / video streaming devices flood the network with data. This means that if possible, you should consider hardwire (using Ethernet cable) the devices that tend to consume a lot of bandwidth. Although this can sort of defeat the purpose of having wireless networks, it can actually help your overall network speed of ZyXEL NWA3560-N if you can hardwire the bandwidth hogs.

5. Reboot ZyXEL NWA3560-N on schedule

Here’s something important to note! On schedule, folks, reboot your ZyXEL NWA3560-N router! Though routers are built to constantly be running at all times, simple tweaks like regular power cycling (a fancy way of saying, unplugging the power cord and shoving it back up) helps with most issues. Rebooting your ZyXEL NWA3560-N can fix Internet connection problems, improve slow moving connections, and resolve wireless issues altogether. Try unplugging your ZyXEL modem on a quarterly basis to stay proactive (Never reset; always reboot router)
